the status of the progress of diversity, equity and inclusion in Chicago’s business community

 

A biennial study, Inside Inclusion featuring the Corporate Diversity Profile is the most comprehensive analysis of the progress of diversity, equity and inclusion at the highest levels in Chicago’s top corporations. Many refer to this data to help track progress and identify steps needed to advance their own diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Inside Inclusion featuring the Corporate Diversity Profile evaluates the gains and losses in diverse representation in leadership in Chicago's top 50 publicly held corporations and examines current trends affecting the executive suites and the talent pipeline.

In the 2024 edition, we provide an assessment of the US Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against Affirmative Action in college admissions and the implications for higher education, the corporate sector and minority businesses along with analysis of how the labor market has fared by race and ethnicity post-COVID (2020-2024) in the nation and Chicagoland.
